Turbo PMAC Variable and Command Summary

MACRO Ring Commands

MACROASCII{master#}

– Put this PMAC port in pass-through mode so communications are passed

through MACRO to specified other master

MACROAUX{node#},{param#} – Report MACRO Type 0 auxiliary parameter value from slave node
MACROAUX{node#},{param#}={constant} – Set MACRO Type 0 auxiliary parameter value in

slave node

MACROAUXREAD{node#},{param#},{variable} – Copy MACRO Type 0 auxiliary parameter

value from slave node to PMAC variable

MACROAUXWRITE{node#},{param#},{variable} – Copy from PMAC variable to MACRO

Type 0 auxiliary parameter value in slave node

MACROMST{master#},{master variable} – Report variable value from remote MACRO

master through Type 1 MACRO protocol

MACROMST{master#},{master variable}={constant} – Set variable value on remote

MACRO master through Type 1 MACRO protocol

MACROMSTASCII{master #}

– Put this ring-controller Turbo PMAC in pass-through mode to other

master on ring

MACROMSTREAD{master#},{master variable},{ring-master variable} – Copy

variable value from remote MACRO master into own variable through Type 1 MACRO
protocol

MACROMSTWRITE{master#},{master variable},{ring-master variable} – Copy

variable value to remote MACRO master from own variable through Type 1 MACRO
protocol

MACROSLAVE{command},{node#}

– Send command to slave node with Type 1 protocol

MACROSLAVE{node#},{slave variable}

– Report slave node variable value with Type 1

MACRO protocol

MACROSLAVE{node#},{slave variable}={constant}

– Set slave node variable value with

Type 1 MACRO protocol

MACROSLVREAD{node#},{slave variable},{PMAC variable}

– Copy from slave node

variable to PMAC variable with Type 1 MACRO protocol

MACROSLVWRITE{node#},{slave variable},{PMAC variable}

– Copy PMAC variable

to slave node variable with Type 1 MACRO protocol

MACROSTASCII{station #}

– Put this ring-controller Turbo PMAC in pass-through mode to other

station on ring

STN={constant} – Set MACRO-ring station-order number

On-line Coordinate System Commands

(These act immediately on currently addressed coordinate system)

Axis Definition Commands

#n->[{constant}]{axis}[+{constant}] – Define axis in terms of motor #, scale factor, and

offset

Examples: #1->X

#4->2000A+500

#n->[{constant}]{axis}[+[{constant}]{axis}[+[{constant}]{axis}]]

[+{constant}] – Define 2 or 3 axes in terms of motor #, scale factors, and offset.
Valid only within XYZ or UVW groupings.

Examples:

#1->8660X-5000Y

#2->5000X+8660Y+5000

#n->I[+{constant}] – Assign motor as inverse kinematic axis
